Chennai Super Kings will host Delhi Capitals in match 55 of IPL 2023 to be played at M Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on 10 May.
The pitch at Chennai is likely to help the spinners and put opponent batters under pressure. Both teams are coming off a win as Delhi Capitals won their previous match against Delhi Capitals while CSK thrashed Mumbai Indians comfortably.
Both teams have decent bowling unit that changes the course of the game and help their side win the match.
Here we look at the 3 Players Who Could Pick the Most Wickets between CSK and DC
- Matheesha Pathirana
Matheesha Pathirana produced a match-winning spell against Mumbai Indians. He never allowed MI batters to score runs freely and picked up important wickets.
Pathirana took the big wicket of well-set Nehal Wadhera, Tristian Stubbs and Arshad Khan. He ended with figures of 3 for 15 in 4 overs helping CSK to restrict MI for a modest total. For his brilliant bowling, Pathirana was named the Player of the Match award.
Pathirana has been a revelation for CSK this season. He has nailed the Yorkers really well and did not allow the batters to hit big shots with his slinging action.
- Axar Patel
Axar Patel has been in good form for Delhi Capitals this season. He bowled with great control and accuracy during the previous match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Warner handed him in the first six overs and did not disappoint with a disciplined spell.
Axar bowled 3 overs and gave away just 17 runs but could not any wickets. He will be key for Delhi Capitals in tomorrow’s match to restrict the run flow and pick important wickets, not allowing CSK to post a big total.
Patel can bowl tough overs, especially in the first six overs. With the pitch at Chennai helpful for the spinners, Axar will play an important role in doing early damage, especially CSK openers Conway and Gaikwad.
- Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja has a brilliant record against Delhi Capitals in IPL history. He has bowled brilliantly in the ongoing season and picked important wickets.
Jadeja took the big wicket of Suryakumar Yadav in the previous match. Jadeja did a decent job against Mumbai Indians giving away 37 runs during his 4 overs and picking 1 wicket.
He will play an important role to pick wickets in the middle overs and put enough pressure on Delhi Capitals’ batting order and help CSK register a win.
